    Cheap Bandsaw for Resawing

    Thread Starter: Jimmy Harris

    I'm a hobbyist on a limited budget looking for a bandsaw, primarily for resawing. Let's say, 12" of 8/4 hard maple cut down the middle would be the maximum I would ever ask of it.

    Forget 'Baby on board'

    Thread Starter: Rick Potter

    I need a bumper sticker that says 'Nobody on board'. Tesla has opened up the 'self driving' app on newer Tesla's for a free 30 day trial. It is factory installed on all of them, they just don't turn it on unless you pay, which we didn't. All of a sudden there is an octogenarian who cannot...

    Creating an aged maple finish

    Thread Starter: John TenEyck

    This is a follow up to an earlier post about how to create an aged maple finish on a table I'm making of maple and mahogany. Based on the input I got in that post I tried several approaches. - Waterlox OSF by itself does a pretty good job of giving maple an aged look. The think I didn't like...
